FYI -
A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by
Microsoft
www.microsoft.com <http://www.microsoft.com> )
and by McAfee ( www.mcafee.com <http://www.mcafee.com> ) as the most
destructive ever! This virus was discovered yesterday afternoon by McAfee
and no vaccine has yet been developed. This virus simply
destroys Sector Zero from the hard disk, where vital information for its
functioning are stored.
This virus acts in the following manner: It sends itself automatically to
all contacts on your list with the title "A Virtual Card for You". As
soon
as the supposed virtual card is opened, the computer
freezes so that the user has to reboot. When the ctrl+alt+del keys or
thereset button are pressed, the virus destroys Sector Zero, thus
permanently destroying the hard disk. Yesterday in just a few hours this
virus caused panic in New York,
according to news broadcast by CNN (www.cnn.com tp://www.cnn.com>).
This alert was received by an employee of Microsoft itself. So don't open
any mails with subject "A Virtual Card for You". As soon as
you get the mail, delete it. Please pass on this mail to all your friends.
Forward this to everyone in your address book. I would rather receive this
25 times than not at all.
Also: Intel announced that a new and very destructive virus was discovered
recently. If you receive an email called "An Internet Flower For You", do
not open it. Delete it right away! This
virus removes all dynamic link libraries(.dll files) from your computer.
Your computer will not be able to boot up.
SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST!!
